Biographical Summaries

Mr. Stakkestad received both his bachelor and master degrees in mathematics from the University of
California at Davis, and then accepted a position as a staff orbit analyst at Lockheed Missiles and
Space Company (LMSC). He produced orbit-planning products for an array of operational satellite
programs run by the Air Force, NASA, and SDI.

In 1992, Mr. Stakkestad and a small team of engineers developed a prototype satellite ground system
using off-the-shelf hardware and software products to demonstrate that a robust satellite ground system
could be rapidly, cheaply, and reliably developed. This prototype was used as the example for the
future development of the AFSCN satellite ground systems. His work on the prototype included
implementation of the orbital dynamics portion of the ground system including development of the
operational rule base.

In 1993, Mr. Stakkestad left LMSC to help found KinetX Aerospace and serve as its first President and Chief
Financial Officer. As the orbit dynamics lead for the development of the IRIDIUM satellite ground
control system, he developed the initial orbital dynamics requirements for the ground system. He
led the orbit trade study that chose the company to implement the requirements, worked as the liaison
between the development and operational staffs, and was part of the initial operations team that
assembled the IRIDIUM constellation. Mr. Stakkestad also led a variety of KinetX Aerospace software,
hardware, and system engineering projects for the IRIDIUM project.

After leaving the IRIDIUM project, he worked on new business development for KinetX Aerospace and assisted
Spectrum Astro in the design of the satellite constellation and ground system architecture for the SBIRS
Low project. He has written a number of papers on effective satellite operations and autonomy for
large satellite constellations, a subject with which he is still actively involved.

Susan Dater

Susan Dater is Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of KinetX Aerospace, Inc. As CFO, Ms. Dater is
responsible for all domestic and international finance, accounting, budgetary, contract and human
resource activities for the company. She also oversees all ITAR and regulatory affairs. She
joined KinetX Aerospace in 1996 as an accountant. After graduating Cum Lade with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Accountancy from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and
passing the CPA exam, she assumed the position of Controller at KinetX Aerospace. Over the past
few years, as more growth and changes occurred inside of KinetX Aerospace, Ms. Dater transitioned the
accounting system from an off-the-shelf basic accounting system into a custom, fully integrated
government contractor cost accounting system with an on-line timekeeping system.

Interfacing and working with both DCAA auditors and external auditors is part of the continuous efforts
to maintain reliable processes and financial information. Anticipating the changing needs of the
company, she secured lines of credit with banks to assist growth and manage cash flow. Always
looking for ways to be efficient and save money, Ms. Dater worked with the BDO tax division to attain
research and development tax credits to apply toward past and future tax liabilities.

Her attention to detail, dedication to continuing corporate governance and high ethical standards make
her a valuable asset to the management team.

Tony Goen

Mr. Goen received his BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin, and accepted a position at
Motorolas Government Electronics Group in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1978. He initially worked
at the device level in the companys Integrated Circuits Facility (ICF), and then led various teams
in the development of Electronic Security Measures (ESM) systems over the next few years.

In 1990, he was asked to lead a division-level test initiative, and proceeded to standardize and
formalize the test approach for space and other high reliability programs. By its nature, this
task required significant Systems Engineering focus, leading to the advancement of Systems Engineering
capability at the division.

In 1992, Mr. Goen joined the IRIDIUM team and led the On-Board Processor (OBP) development efforts on
the payload. This seven-computer processing suite encompassed all aspects of subsystem
development, from systems engineering and architecture to design to parts/materials selection and
management, to integration/test/verification. This effort resulted in many defining attributes of
the IRIDIUM payload, such as the inter-computer communications architecture, the hardware routing
algorithm and implementation, and the processor bus and suite of associated custom ASICs. These
ASICs defined the payload behavior for everything from bus control to routing of payload communication
packets.

In 1999, Mr. Goen and a small group of individuals founded a development lab within Motorola in
Chandler, Arizona focused on the design of cellular infrastructure equipment. This team executed
RF, digital, FPGA, and DSP development efforts for 8 years in support of CDMA, WCDMA, and other air
interface technologies. The team also developed a new WiMAX Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that
facilitated Motorolas entry into the burgeoning WiMAX market.

In May of 2007, Mr. Goen joined KinetX Aerospace. Several former Motorolans also joined the KinetX Aerospace hardware
team to augment the considerable existing Software and Systems Engineering capabilities. The
primary foci of this team are Wireless Communications and Embedded Computing for product space
encompassing Aerospace, Government, and Commercial markets.
